Fiberglass Headliners for Slicks

Not long ago we lost a good friend named Irl Collins who had created a really nice headliner for all of our Slick truck cabs! He built molds to make headliners for every version of them and also the 41-47 Ford Truck Cabs too! We will all miss seeing Irl at Slick Stock and Pate Swap Meet as well as o...

Re: Upcoming News out of Arclight Fab

I would agree with the previous statement about the high cost of the parts Arclight is selling. Have been looking forward to seeing what Aaron would come up with for 57 - 64 Ford Trucks! Would be great if they would set up at the Pate Swapmeet in April to show their parts and pieces and their Unibod...

Lots of great memories have been made in the last ten years since my first SS in 2008 at the Howard Johnson’s in KC! The people I have met thr...

Re: Speedway Disc Conversion

Mac, it has been my experience the drum brake wheels Won’t clear the calipers on the disc brake conversions! Now, Some 1/4” wheel spacers might be the answer to get clearance enough between the wheel and caliper to do it! You could try stacking some flat washers on your lug studs up to 1/4” and the...

Valve Cover Racing

I would like to remind everyone to bring your valve cover racer along this year. We had quite a few last time in Salina but there is plenty of room for more! The track is 40 feet in length and each lane is 11 inches wide. The only rules are it cannot have an engine af any kind to propel it and it c...

Facebook has given a lot of us some ways to communicate with many other members with pictures and content, but as was mentioned, I have encountered some trolls on there as well. People like that I have no time for, and love to see banned! Luckily we don’t have to deal with that here because most of ...

Re: Looking a Ranchero

Good luck on that one Rich! I wanted a 66 or 67 with a
390 and 4 speed and could not find a thing! Would still
Like to find one in decent shape but few and far between.
Most I find are mid 70s ones that are really rusty!
Best of luck on your search! TR!

For some reason he is locked out of the website that shows what it looks like so we can’t get a peek at them yet! Grrrr!
